Answer:

11.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

using the Pythagorean theorem

hypotenuse ² = length ² + length ²

16² = L² + L²

16² = 2L²   (express 2 = (√2)²

16² = (√2)²L²  

16² = (√2L)²  

16 = √2L

L = 16 /√2

L = 11.3 cm

a^2=256/2=128

a=sqrt(128)=11.3 sqrt=square root
